Understanding Legal Companies

You set up legal company and transactional company relationships to enable many companies to be unified in one legal company. The relationship between the companies enables you to produce reports that combine data from more than one company. For example, you can associate the companies that you use for transaction processing (transactional companies) with companies that you use for legal reporting (legal companies) so that legal reports can contain data for more than one transactional company. At a minimum, a legal company and a transactional company relationship must exist for the default company.
